His third album, <a href="/wiki/Talking_Back_to_the_Night" title="Talking Back to the Night">Talking Back to the Night</a> (1982), generated less of a response and was considered a let-down. The last two albums had been created by Winwood playing all the instruments himself at his technologically advanced <a href="/wiki/Turkdean" title="Turkdean">Turkdean</a> home studio "Netherturkdonic,"<a href="#cite_note-Black2020-8">[8]</a> but for his next project Winwood returned to working with other musicians for additional inspiration. He hired <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeleno</a> Ron Weisner as manager, known for his work with <a href="/wiki/Madonna" title="Madonna">Madonna</a> and <a href="/wiki/Michael_Jackson" title="Michael Jackson">Michael Jackson</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Van_der_Kiste_p._194-9">[9]</a> Weisner pushed Winwood to record in London rather than at his home, where he was having relationship difficulties with his wife, Nicole. Winwood agreed to the London suggestion, but Weisner responded, "Well, forget London. Maybe you should go to New York."<a href="#cite_note-RS_1988-10">[10]</a> Winwood was already acquainted with New York, having stayed at the <a href="/wiki/Central_Park_South" class="mw-redirect" title="Central Park South">Central Park South</a> apartment of <a href="/wiki/Chris_Blackwell" title="Chris Blackwell">Chris Blackwell</a>, the founder of <a href="/wiki/Island_Records" title="Island Records">Island Records</a>.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Blackwell had been serving as Winwood's quasi-manager for a few years, but Winwood was intent on moving in a new direction with Weisner. Weisner encouraged him to stop standing half-hidden behind the <a href="/wiki/Hammond_organ" title="Hammond organ">Hammond organ</a> and accept his position as front man and entertainer.<a href="#cite_note-RS_1988-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wawzenek2016-13">[13]</a> Winwood said in 1988, "I made a conscious effort to start working with musicians and producers and engineers. I got a manager. I have to say that those people are directly or indirectly responsible for my success now."<a href="#cite_note-RS_1988-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Between sessions for Back in the High Life, Winwood booked another studio, where he <a href="/wiki/Film_score" title="Film score">scored</a> synthesiser-based music for the documentary The High Life, about the 1985 Tour de France experience of Scottish bicycle racer Robert Millar (later known as <a href="/wiki/Philippa_York" title="Philippa York">Philippa York</a>). The documentary was produced by <a href="/wiki/ITV_Granada" title="ITV Granada">ITV Granada</a>; it aired in the weeks leading up to the <a href="/wiki/1986_Tour_de_France" title="1986 Tour de France">1986 Tour de France</a>, in which Millar competed.<a href="#cite_note-Pareles1986-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Writing">Writing</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Back_in_the_High_Life&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Writing">edit</a>]</div> Songwriting for the album began after Talking Back was released. Winwood wrote his own music but he usually relied on other lyricists. He collaborated again with Texan <a href="/wiki/Will_Jennings" title="Will Jennings">Will Jennings</a>, a professor of <a href="/wiki/English_language" title="English language">English</a> who had written the words to Winwood's song "<a href="/wiki/While_You_See_a_Chance" title="While You See a Chance">While You See a Chance</a>", a hit single in 1981. For this new project, Winwood's fourth solo album, the pair composed five more songs, two of which would become the biggest album hits: "<a href="/wiki/Higher_Love" title="Higher Love">Higher Love</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Back_in_the_High_Life_Again" title="Back in the High Life Again">Back in the High Life Again</a>". Jennings carried the phrase "Back in the High Life" around as a song title idea written down in a notebook, but when he was at Winwood's house in late 1984 he wrote the rest of the lyric in a half hour, without any music. More than a year afterward, Winwood finally wrote the music, after being nudged to do so by Titelman, who was notified of its existence by Jennings. "Back in the High Life Again" came very near to being missed altogether.<a href="#cite_note-Songfacts_Jennings-16">[16]</a> Winwood said about teaming with Jennings, "We've got absolutely no rules when we work together. Sometimes we start with the lyric, sometimes with the melody; sometimes we start with chorus and add the verses, and sometimes I write some of the lyrics myself. There are no formulas; things just happen naturally."<a href="#cite_note-AV_Notes-17">[17]</a> A second return collaborator was eccentric English songwriter and former <a href="/wiki/Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band" title="Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band">Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band</a> frontman <a href="/wiki/Vivian_Stanshall" title="Vivian Stanshall">Vivian Stanshall</a>, who had written the words for Winwood's "Dream Gerrard", appearing on <a href="/wiki/Traffic_(band)" title="Traffic (band)">Traffic</a>'s 1974 album <a href="/wiki/When_the_Eagle_Flies" title="When the Eagle Flies">When the Eagle Flies</a>. The two often traded favours: Winwood played on both of Stanshall's solo albums in the 1970s. More recently, Stanshall had come up with the lyric to the song "Arc of a Diver", which provided the 1980 album title.<a href="#cite_note-Stanshall-18">[18]</a> Stanshall joined with Winwood to create a demo version of "My Love's Leavin'" at Netherturkdonic, engineered by Nobby Clarke, who was Winwood's right-hand man at the studio and on the road.<a href="#cite_note-White1986-19">[19]</a> Stanshall also wrote the lyric to "If That Gun's For Real" in the early '80s, described by Winwood as a witty "<a href="/wiki/Percy_Sledge" title="Percy Sledge">Percy Sledge</a>–flavoured" number. The song was under consideration for Back in the High Life but was ultimately left off.<a href="#cite_note-Stanshall-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The third returning lyricist was George Fleming, an old friend of Winwood's and the nephew of <a href="/wiki/James_Bond" title="James Bond">James Bond</a> creator <a href="/wiki/Ian_Fleming" title="Ian Fleming">Ian Fleming</a>. George Fleming had written two songs for Arc of a Diver – "Second-hand Woman" and "Dust" – which were his first-ever compositions.<a href="#cite_note-Black2020-8">[8]</a> In 1985, he brought Winwood the words for "<a href="/wiki/Freedom_Overspill" title="Freedom Overspill">Freedom Overspill</a>".

Titelman tried replacing all the electronic drums with JR playing live, but the producers felt that this, too, was not quite suitable.<a href="#cite_note-Titelman2017-35">[35]</a> Instead, the rhythm part for the song was constructed as a combination of electronic drums, JR's live drums, and sequenced samples of JR's drums added later.<a href="#cite_note-REP1986-25">[25]</a> Winwood instructed JR to make the snare overdubs feel like they were slightly rushing the tempo, to add excitement.<a href="#cite_note-Titelman2017-35">[35]</a> JR noted that Winwood asked for <a href="/wiki/Pitch_(music)" title="Pitch (music)">high-pitched</a>, bright sounds from the drum kit, so he chose brass snares such as a vintage 1930 Ludwig for "Split Decision", and the vintage Black Beauty on "Higher Love".

While reviewing Winwood's 1988 follow-up album <a href="/wiki/Roll_with_It_(album)" title="Roll with It (album)">Roll with It</a>, Dennis Hunt of the Los Angeles Times called Back in the High Life "arguably the best R&B album by a white singer in the last five years".<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> Years later, in The Rough Guide to Rock (2003), Justin Lewis declared it "the epitome of sophisticated mid-80s <a href="/wiki/Album-oriented_rock" title="Album-oriented rock">AOR</a>, as Winwood adds Caribbean and gospel flavours to his <a href="/wiki/Pop_music" title="Pop music">pop</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> and R&B mix."<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Back_in_the_High_Life&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Legacy">edit</a>]</div> In the UK, Back in the High Life was certified Gold by BPI in August 1986.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> In the US, strong sales in 1986 ensured the album was certified Platinum by October.

And finally, I would like to thank my wife."<a href="#cite_note-66">[66]</a> Winwood settled in Nashville, and his first child, Mary Clare, was born in May 1987.
